Geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, or sudden demand fluctuations can significantly disrupt supply chains. Additionally, organizations must achieve sustainability goals while dealing with a shortage of qualified workforce.
Integrated Business Planning (IBP) offers decisive advantages in this context: Through the process and system integration of financial planning with supply chain planning, real-time data analysis, and the use of technologies such as AI or modern planning systems, companies can make their supply chains more resilient, efficient, and effective. This enables, among other things, faster response to disruptions, improved collaboration with suppliers and customers, and optimized resource utilization. Sustainable revenue growth, cost reduction, and working capital optimization are examples of successes achieved through IBP.

For one of our clients, we successfully redesigned the Target Operating Model (TOM) and optimized their business processes. Following a comprehensive analysis of operational procedures, we developed a customized, future-oriented TOM that addressed the client’s strategic objectives and operational requirements. Through the standardization and automation of core processes, we were able to create the foundation for our client's global growth.
In one of our software selection projects, we first conducted a detailed analysis of operational procedures and requirements to identify strengths and weaknesses in current processes. A subsequent series of workshops created and evaluated the effects of future processes through the implementation of new software. Finally, we selected the most suitable software solutions to fulfill the new processes. Our systematic approach ensured that the solutions were perfectly aligned with the client's needs and achieved sustainable improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.
Through the implementation of a supply chain planning system, we increased forecast accuracy by 30% for one of our clients.
